Music played softly in the ballroom of Magenta Palace. After a long, tiring procession, the ball began with great fanfare. Nobles, diplomats, and guests from various kingdoms applauded in unison as King Arkadion and Lady Pamela completed their dance. The bride and groom looked delighted, smiling broadly before returning to their reserved seats.
As King Arkadion raised his hand after taking his seat, the music resumed at a slow pace. Several couples began filling the dance floor to dance before the king. They bowed to King Arkadion and Lady Pamela and then began to dance.
Among them was Cecilia, who constantly attracted everyone's attention. Cecilia was not officially married yet. The news of her engagement to the new king of Liban turned out to be just a rumor. Therefore, various men wanted to ask her for a dance that day.
